2. Aphasias

Agnosia

Agnosia is a neurological disorder characterized by an inability to process sensory information. Right hemisphere brain damage and Agnosia are brain disorders.

See Right hemisphere brain damage and Agnosia

Anosognosia

Anosognosia is a condition in which a person with a disability is cognitively unaware of having it due to an underlying physical condition.

See Right hemisphere brain damage and Anosognosia

Aphasia

In aphasia (sometimes called dysphasia), a person may be unable to comprehend or unable to formulate language because of damage to specific brain regions. Right hemisphere brain damage and aphasia are aphasias.

See Right hemisphere brain damage and Aphasia

Cerebral hemisphere

The vertebrate cerebrum (brain) is formed by two cerebral hemispheres that are separated by a groove, the longitudinal fissure.

See Right hemisphere brain damage and Cerebral hemisphere

Cognition

Cognition is the "mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses".

See Right hemisphere brain damage and Cognition

Confabulation

In psychology, confabulation is a memory error consisting of the production of fabricated, distorted, or misinterpreted memories about oneself or the world.

See Right hemisphere brain damage and Confabulation

Cortex (anatomy)

In anatomy and zoology, the cortex (cortices) is the outermost (or superficial) layer of an organ.

See Right hemisphere brain damage and Cortex (anatomy)

Discourse

Discourse is a generalization of the notion of a conversation to any form of communication.

See Right hemisphere brain damage and Discourse

Dysphagia

Dysphagia is difficulty in swallowing.

See Right hemisphere brain damage and Dysphagia

Hemiparesis

Hemiparesis, also called unilateral paresis, is the weakness of one entire side of the body (hemi- means "half").

See Right hemisphere brain damage and Hemiparesis

Homonymous hemianopsia

Hemianopsia, or hemianopia, is a visual field loss on the left or right side of the vertical midline.

See Right hemisphere brain damage and Homonymous hemianopsia

Human brain

The brain is the central organ of the human nervous system, and with the spinal cord makes up the central nervous system.

See Right hemisphere brain damage and Human brain

A metaphor is a figure of speech that, for rhetorical effect, directly refers to one thing by mentioning another.

See Right hemisphere brain damage and Metaphor

Neurology

Neurology (from νεῦρον (neûron), "string, nerve" and the suffix -logia, "study of") is the branch of medicine dealing with the diagnosis and treatment of all categories of conditions and disease involving the nervous system, which comprises the brain, the spinal cord and the peripheral nerves.

See Right hemisphere brain damage and Neurology

Norman Rockwell

Norman Percevel Rockwell (February 3, 1894 – November 8, 1978) was an American painter and illustrator.

See Right hemisphere brain damage and Norman Rockwell

Prosody (linguistics)

In linguistics, prosody is the study of elements of speech that are not individual phonetic segments (vowels and consonants) but which are properties of syllables and larger units of speech, including linguistic functions such as intonation, stress, and rhythm.

See Right hemisphere brain damage and Prosody (linguistics)

Psychiatry

Psychiatry is the medical specialty devoted to the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of deleterious mental conditions.

See Right hemisphere brain damage and Psychiatry

Semantic processing

In psycholinguistics, semantic processing is the stage of language processing that occurs after one hears a word and encodes its meaning: the mind relates the word to other words with similar meanings.

See Right hemisphere brain damage and Semantic processing

Tangential speech

Tangential speech or tangentiality is a communication disorder in which the train of thought of the speaker wanders and shows a lack of focus, never returning to the initial topic of the conversation. Right hemisphere brain damage and tangential speech are aphasias.

See Right hemisphere brain damage and Tangential speech

Traumatic brain injury

A traumatic brain injury (TBI), also known as an intracranial injury, is an injury to the brain caused by an external force.

See Right hemisphere brain damage and Traumatic brain injury
